2012 Shows

Cover of Listen To Your Mother:2012 commemorative photobook sponsored by Snapfish by HP

Inspired by the national expansion of 2011, bloggers sent email after email with the hope of giving Mother’s Day a microphone in their home town in 2012. Bounding and leaping to build its infrastructure and catch up with demand, 2012 found Listen To Your Mother shows in 10 cities nationwide–filling houses, hearing over 140 new readers, raising over $6000 for our local non-profit causes, and garnering acclaim on The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and The Washington Post. After our smash-success season, we added 140 new videos to our YouTube channel, making 200 videos and reaching a global audience of LTYM fans.

National sponsors BlogHer, FreshDirect, and premier national sponsor Snapfish by HP enabled LTYM’s tremendous growth, as did dozens of local sponsors in each of our cities.
